The second novel in the emotionally compelling trilogy, Degrees of Separationβthree lost souls determined to find balance againβ¦
December has vanished. Rejected by her troubled husband, Austin, and pushed, at his insistence, into the arms of his best friend, Cord, sheβs uncertain what the future holds. She loves her husband, regardless of his addiction, but she also loves his best friend. At odds with everything she believed to be her traditional reality, she flees the only home sheβs ever known.
Heartbroken, Cord does the right thing and confronts his reluctant betrayal of Austin after losing the woman they both love. He takes charge, dragging Austin back from the edge of oblivion, only to find himself plunged deeper into a life of heartache.
On a path to redemption, Austin must not only confront personal truths, but consider the sacrifices necessary to save his marriage and his friendship with Cord.
An unexpected reunion and exposed secrets will either derail or establish their future as one.

Excerpt:
The second she was gone the asshole in the room spoke up. βYouβre wasting your time fighting it.β
His fork clattered to his plate. βWhat the fuck is wrong with you? Stop shoving me at your wife!β
Austin stared past Cord, his face filling with concern.
Shit.Β Ember stood in the doorway, eyes wide, frozen in place, clutching a white frosted cake heaped with strawberries.
Goddamn Austin and his stupid ideas. βEmberββ
βIβ¦I forgot the knife.β She quickly placed the dishes on the table, her steps faltering, and fled to the kitchen.
βGreat,β Cord snapped, bunching up his napkin and tossing it on the table. βEnjoy your fucking cake. Iβm out of here.β
Austin opened his big mouth, but Cord was done talking to him. Reasoning with Austin was like trying to discuss physics with a chimp. βShut it, Austin.β
He detoured to the kitchen, unable to take his rage out on her. βEmber, I didnβt meanββ
βItβs okay.β Her fingers twisted into a dishcloth and then she dashed away a tear.
Fuck. Tears. Not tears! His concern shifted into panic. βItβs not okay. I donβt know what Austin told youββ
βI know what heβs up to. I told him not to do this.β
She fucking knew her husband was messing with him? It didnβt make any sense. βWhyΒ is he doing this?β
NowΒ sheΒ shrugged. βHeβs Austin. Once he gets something in his headβ¦β
Cord rubbed his palm over his face and squeezed. βWhat does he expect to gain from this? Heβs just making an uncomfortable situation worse.β
βHeβs trying to fix it. He doesnβt understand, because he wasnβt there. He thinks if we put everything out in the open the guilt will go away. He thinks itβs best to deal with it.β
βDeal with it how?β He wasnβt a fucking puppet Austin could place in whatever position he wanted.
βI donβt know. I barely understand what Iβm feeling right now. I canβt pretend to understand what heβs going through. Or you, for that matter.β
All thoughts of her husband vanished as he focused on the βfβ word, for his sins. βWhatΒ areΒ you feeling?β
Her face tightened and her hand pressed into her chest, her eyes betraying her show of bravado. βHere. It hurts. I donβt know how to make it stop, Cord.β
βHurts how?β He took a slow step closer, keeping his voice low.
Eyes pleading, she looked up at him, her mouth tight with worry. βWhen Iβm near you, my heart beats so fast Iβm afraid itβll explode. But I know I canβtβ¦ I canβt express whatβs inside of me. Then this unbearable ache takes hold. It justβ¦hurts.β
